I dig it

Great video! You answered the eBay standard envelope question I had been asking other KZreadrs but received no answer... how to ship without the card getting returned. Penny sleeve, top loader, and a piece of paper does the trick. I had put in a thin board (comic book backing board) cut to size, and the card was returned with the stamp saying "Non-machinable." The board is too thick. Thanks!

You are welcome! I haven't had any issues with the card getting damaged when it is just in a top loader. If the card was damaged, cardboard probably wouldn't protect it in my opinion anyways. Plus the envelope is insured, so you can just give the buyer a refund and then get your money back from USPS.

ESE envelope needs to be under .25 inches...that's laid out in the rules on eBays website. I made that mistake when I started out as well.

How can I source sports cards

Like how you can gather inventory?

awesome video! i did notice one thing, with the painters tape. I agree with not using it on the toploader, it just urks me, However, I think i saw you put regular scotch tape to close the team bag. I realized this one day, i was bagging a bunch of cards, just like you showed in the team bags, but i had to go back in to the team bag, which could have been for any number of reasons, but I realized; Close ALL bags, baggies, whatever..., close them with the painters tape. Trying to open that scotch tape destroys the bag every time for me...╰ (´꒳`) ╯

I did not used scotch tape to close the team bags. I used scotch tape on the envelope because it wasn't the self adhesive kind

If the quality of the photo is either blurry & only 1 or 2 photos or have far & away &/or the only 2 angles are slighted a certain direction, these are tell tale signs of a card overpriced compared to condition, but if the quality hd photos aren't there does not mean the seller is hiding something, maybe their a new seller & cant afford the 1000 dollar us camaras, scanners, etc... or they just sell a lil here or there to make a few extra bucks for family vacation, back to school clothes & supplies or upcoming field trips & that's the main reason they sell on ebay (which is legal) & dont see the need to spend 1000 dollars plus on camaras laptops scanners etc... because it's just not worth it for what they are doing on ebay (which is justified & legal)

I hear you. Obviously every bad photo doesn't mean the seller is hiding something. Just something people should be cautious of. As I said, majority of the time, a phone camera will do just fine. Personally, I am not at the point to buy an expensive scanner. I already had a nice camera, so I make due with that even though it takes a ton more time than scanning.

Yea great until you ship out a 100 of these. Way too slow

I think if you are shipping out 100 cards, the process should be way more streamlined at that point. You have better equipment, maybe other workers. This was intended for people just maybe starting out

@@coltonscardboard but why wait to streamline it? Idk 🤷‍♂️. Might as well start out efficient. In case you ever want to ramp up

@southdaytontradingco some people might not have the means to get all the top of the line equipment right out of the gate. Or may just be selling a card here and there and don't necessarily need anything fancy.

All Cards should be shipped in a bubble mailer (not a business envelope as used in the video). Yikes.

Not necessarily, if you're buying $1-$2 cards a buyer may not want to pay $4-$5 for bubble mailer. PWE the way shown is more than fine
